Help with voltages please

Wiggins · 30 Jul 2007 at 20:04

I need some help please as I know very little about voltages on the PSU.

I have a Pentium D 3Ghz clocked to 3.6Ghz
Memory is 533 running at 640
Small overclock on my 7900GS

Here are the voltages:

The vcore is constantly fluctuating between 1.18 & 1.24. Is that suppose to happen or should I set the vcore to 1.25 instead of auto?

Also, how are the rest of the voltages?

Looks ok to me..

If you use CPU-Z you can see the vcore fluctuating in there, nothing to worry about.

A little lower than my Corsairs pumping out but as long as its running stable I wouldnt worry

The readings were taken by Everest & CPU-Z & Speedfan and the fluctuation showed on all readings.

I will soon be getting an E4400 with 800Mhz Memory and maybe wonderinf if I should upgrade the PSU as I will be doing some overclocking.

Currently I have an EZCool 550W PSU.

I have a £45 budget for another PSU if I need it.

The PSU I have has these specs:

Will this be enough to overclock an E4400 stable?

The 12V amps are about on the edge of what I'd consider to be the useful minimum however the readings are still easily enough within the tolerance levels(+-5%) so it ought to be fine. Certainly for £45 I don't think you can improve on the PSU by buying new.

Thank you for your advice

If the voltages seem fine at the moment then I'll use the extra cash to get better memory.

I have just seen the E6550 and at that price :eek:

I am going for that one.
